Dear readers and friends, winter is approaching, and snowflakes are falling. You may be eager to start your long-awaited holiday life, or you may be trying to stick to your post and work together for the new year. It is gratifying to see that in the beautiful campus of Wuhan University, we have seen that many teachers and students are still sticking to it, and they are devoting themselves to scientific research and study with great dedication. They are undoubtedly the most moving scenery in this winter!
A thick layer of snow covers Luojia Mountain, making the entire campus even more silent and mysterious. Listen closely, only the happy laughter of children playing on the playground, and the busy scene of logistics personnel driving forklifts to clear snow on the road. At noon, the warm sunlight sprinkled on a canteen of the Faculty of Information Science of Wuhan University, making it suddenly lively, warm and pleasant.
At this moment, around 11:30 p.m. that day, there was an endless stream of teachers and students who came to eat. A variety of home-cooked stir-fried dishes, delicious and tempting steamed dishes, nutritious noodles, etc., a dazzling array of delicacies filled the entire canteen, waiting for students to taste them one by one. Ms. Yang Qi, the person in charge of the canteen, said enthusiastically to us: "Although the number of teachers and students who have come to eat has decreased in the past two days, we still maintain the scale of thousands of people per day, so most of the sales windows are still open normally, please rest assured that you can enjoy delicious food!" ”
Miss Luo Yi from the School of Arts and Humanities of Wuhan University told us: "Today should be my last lunch in the school cafeteria a year ago, and I have already bought a ticket to return to my hometown in Xi'an tomorrow morning. I've been concentrating on writing graduation ** for the past few weeks. In response to this situation, Chen from the School of Electronic Information said that he could not determine the exact date of his return to his hometown for the time being. Recently, he is preparing for the American Collegiate Mathematical Contest in Modeling, and he does not dare to relax in the slightest. ”
So why do these teachers and students choose to stay in school? Let's listen to the story of Fan Wenlan, a Ph.D. student from the State Key Laboratory of Remote Sensing Information Engineering: "My supervisor, Professor Jiang Weiping, was extremely strict and meticulous in his approach to scientific research, and he worked until 11 o'clock at night almost every day, and overtime on holidays was commonplace. A few days ago, the teacher learned that there was a forecast of snowfall, and he told us to go home early. Although my graduation is coming to an end, I will work harder to complete it as soon as possible in order to live up to the expectations of my teachers. ”
Also postponed because of academic research is Fan Wenlan's research team leader, Professor Yang Bisheng, whose research group has more than 50 students, and more than 10 graduate students still insist on working selflessly in the laboratory. "I'm working on a pilot project related to computer vision object monitoring, which took months and the computer is still collecting and processing data in the background, so I can't stop working right now," Fan Wenlan told us. ”
At this moment, most of the students have returned to their warm homes to spend the holiday with their loved ones, but Yan Zhengfei and his team members still firmly maintain the routine of starting work on time at 8:30 in the morning and finishing at 10:30 in the evening. Dr. Yan Zhengfei said with a smile: "I have already purchased a train ticket to go home on the 6th, and when the experimental data comes out, I will be able to go home happily to welcome the arrival of the Spring Festival." ”
According to Li Qian, deputy manager of the first canteen of the Department of Informatics, nearly 30 employees in the canteen are now sticking to their posts. "Due to the current bad weather conditions, we have activated the maximum emergency measures and almost all staff are on duty," she said emotionally. When the weather conditions improve and the number of students staying on campus gradually decreases, our staff will take appropriate shifts, but most of them plan to hold their ground during this Chinese New Year to ensure that the students and teachers who stay on campus can enjoy delicious meals at any time. ”
Let us praise these hard-working, conscientious and responsible teachers and students of Wuhan University! Their perseverance in the bitter cold, their tireless pursuit of knowledge, self-dedication, their spirit and dedication are undoubtedly the source of motivation for us to continue to move forward. Let us sincerely wish them a happy family, all the best, academic progress and a brilliant life in the new year!
